Abstract

Taking the three northeastern provinces as the research object, this paper constructs a digital economy development index system based on three dimensions: digital infrastructure, digital economy application and digital industry development, and measures industrial transformation and upgrading in terms of advanced industrial structure and rationalization of industrial structure. Using a regression model to study the impact of the digital economy on industrial transformation and upgrading in the northeast, this paper finds that there are obvious differences in the impact of the digital economy on industrial transformation and upgrading among the three northeastern provinces, with the promotion effect of Liaoning > Jilin > Heilongjiang; Liaoning and Jilin should vigorously strengthen the construction of digital industry development, while Heilongjiang needs to meet certain threshold conditions to effectively promote transformation and upgrading. The findings of this paper are useful for the analysis of the three northeastern regions. The findings of this paper help to make an accurate assessment of the development of the digital economy in the three northeastern provinces and provide reference for the governments of the northeast region to formulate policies related to industrial transformation and upgrading.
